KAMLOOPS - Police have a suspect in custody after a loss prevention officer was stabbed at Walmart yesterday evening.

Bush says officers took the man into custody a short distance away from the store. The loss prevention officer was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing and Bush says police will seek charges against the suspect.
